5 Free Low Prep Valentine's Day Ideas

Hallie Sherman
About this episode

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? 


In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I’m sharing some low-prep therapy ideas that you can use with your older speech students with a Valentine’s Day theme. 


Often we think that this holiday might be more fitting for your younger students with some basic activities that focus on love words and red things. But we can totally incorporate the theme with our older speech students as well! 


Anything that they might be motivated by, we can utilize in our speech room to elicit a ton of language.


So I’m sharing five low-prep therapy ideas that you can use to get your students engaged in meeting their speech goals this Valentine’s Day that are completely free! I am all about taking these few activities and using them all week. They are all versatile enough to be used for multiple goals and multiple different groups. 


Tune in to learn more about what these free resources are and how to use them with your older speech students this Valentine’s day!
